Financial Communication

During 2014, the Group reignited its outreach and communication with the financial community by completing the transition to one entity following the merger between Fiat Industrial S.p.A. and CNH Global N.V. into CNH Industrial N.V. and culminating in the presentation of its five year strategic business plan in May 2014.

The Group’s objective is to continue building on the relationship of trust with analysts and investors through transparent and responsible management aimed at increasing the value of the enterprise on a sustainable basis. The Investor Relations team interacts with the financial community throughout the year, maintaining an active dialogue with shareholders, investors and analysts to keep them informed and enhance their understanding of the Group and its activities.

Those communication activities include conference calls, meetings and public Group presentations of its periodic financial results or other events that require direct communication to the market. Information presented or discussed on those occasions is immediately made publicly available on the corporate website. Other activities include participation in seminars and industry conferences, as well as non-deal roadshows in major financial centers that provide the opportunity for direct contact with management.

Several non-deal roadshows, one-on-one meetings and conferences on the capital goods sector were organized by equity and fixed income analysts in New York, Boston, Las Vegas, Des Moines, Detroit, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Milan and Turin, at which management and the Investor Relations team also had the opportunity to give additional briefings to investors on the operating performance of CNH Industrial’s various businesses and their strategic plans going forward.

In 2014, the global economy grew at a moderate pace of 2.7%. North America continued to grow (+2.3%), above the prior year’s growth trend. While many states in Northern Europe closed the year in positive territory, economic conditions in Southern Europe remain weak. Economic activity was varied in other regions. While growth in Asia (excluding Japan) stabilized at 5.8%, other economies, such as LATAM (+0.6%) and CIS (+0.4%), suffered slowdowns in infrastructure development and increased political and economic volatility. Various factors are driving these global trends such as low interest rates, weak commodity prices and the sharp decline in crude oil prices, starting in the second half of 2014. Foreign currency fluctuations have also become as issue in some regions. For 2014, the FTSE 250 index registered a 0.9% increase, the S&P 500 was up 11.4% and the Dow Jones Industrial US was up 7.5%.
